Reviews
Yellowstone National Park is home to the last pure remnant of buffalo that once ranged over North America. Despite the threat of extinction, governmental agencies are currently working together to slaughter any of these iconic animals that wander outside of the park's boundaries. Written by an eyewitness who has worked for years to disrupt the killing, Brister's stirs up frustration in this visceral portrayal of the wasting of one of our great natural resources. While justified by dubious concerns that the buffalo are spreading disease to cattle that graze the public lands around the park, Brister makes the case that the buffalo are merely the latest victims of the cattle lobby's sense of exclusive entitlement to federal lands, and that they view the wild buffalo as an encroachment on their sole right to use those public lands. Already operating with the federal grant of grazing privileges, the operation that has thus far exterminated 3,800 wild buffalo represents an additional subsidy to the cattlemen of $3 million annually. Simply put, a publicly owned natural resource is being slaughtered at public expense on public land, all for one small special interest group. Brister presents a strong thorough argument but his book is more than just animal rights advocacy. It's a personal, cultural, political examination of the buffalo's place in a human world. -Publishers Weekly, Yellowstone National Park is home to the last pure remnant of buffalo that once ranged over North America.

Synopsis
Very few of the 2.5 million people who visit Yellowstone National Park and who are awed by America's only continuously wild and genetically pure bison herd, are aware that over the past decade, state and federal agencies have engaged in the wanton slaughter of 3,500 of these magnificent animals, solely because they wandered out of delineated confines of the National Park. Author Daniel Brister has dedicated his life to protecting the buffalo through field work and at every level of the policy arena. In the Presence of Buffalo was inspired by his desire to see the buffalo honored and respected and the slaughter stopped. This inspiring narrative weaves personal reflections and stories of the present-day buffalo slaughter with information gathered through historical, cultural, and scientific research. Five chapters and an appendix explore the relationship between human beings and bison, or buffalo, as they are popularly called in this country., Very few of the 2.5 million people who visit Yellowstone National Park and who are awed by America's only continuously wild and genetically pure bison herd are aware that over the past decade, state and federal agencies have engaged in the wanton slaughter of 3,500 of these magnificent animals, solely because they wandered out of delineated confines of the National Park.
